New Resource on Egyptian Elections

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has launched a new guide providing background and analysis to Egypt’s upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections. The resource, which is published in both English and Arabic, draws on the assessments of experts from the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut and the Carnegie Middle East Program in Washington. It will profile political actors and opposition movements, describe legal developments, analyze election monitoring and explore other factors influencing the elections. In addition, the website provides a history of contemporary politics in Egypt, including parliamentary electoral results for the last few decades.
